Personal life

Chelsea Liu was born December 31, 1999, in Marshall, Missouri.[1] The daughter of Tingyuan Liu and Koman Ting, she has an older sister, Chaochih, who competed for Chinese Taipei, and a younger sister, Cheyenne.[2]

Career

Early years

Liu began skating in 2006.[1] She teamed up with Devin Perini in July 2010.[3] They debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in 2013, placing fifth at both of their assignments, before winning the junior silver medal at the 2014 U.S. Championships.

Partnership with Johnson

Liu teamed up with Brian Johnson in May 2014.[2] They were coached by Todd Sand and Jenni Meno in Orange County, California.[4]

During the 2014–15 JGP series, Liu/Johnson won a bronze medal in Dresden, Germany and placed fourth in Zagreb, Croatia. Their results gave them a spot at the 2014–15 JGP Final in Barcelona, Spain, where the pair finished sixth. After winning the junior silver medal at the 2015 U.S. Championships, they were assigned to the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. The pair placed 5th in the short program, 8th in the free skate, and 7th overall.

Competing in the 2015–16 JGP series, Liu/Johnson placed 8th in Linz, Austria and 5th in Toruń, Poland. Ranked fifth in both segments, the pair finished fifth at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary.

Partnership with O'Shea

On June 29, 2021, NBC Sports published an article announcing new partnership with Danny O'Shea .[5]

Liu/O'Shea finished fifth in their international debut at the Cranberry Cup, and went on to make their Grand Prix debut together at the 2021 Skate America, where they came seventh.[6] However, their partnership was derailed by an on-ice accident at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup that left both concussed. They withdrew from the 2022 U.S. Championships, and ultimately their partnership ended.[7][8]

Partnership with Nagy

In May 2023, it was announced that Liu had teamed up with Balázs Nagy.[9]

In August, it was announced that they would be making their international debut at the 2023 Autumn Classic.[10] They were also announced as one of the host picks at the 2023 Skate America.[11]
